Is it really August??

Hello everyone. Boy has it been a while. The fact that it is already August is so crazy to me. Part of me thinks I need to get ready for the typical move back to school. But now, I just get alumni stuff in the mail.

I don't feel like an adult yet. Probably because I don't have a job yet. Basically that's what the summer has been. Working and having a blast at the Springer Opera House at the Academy...and applying and interviewing all over the place. I just wish I knew something definite. It is so frustrating not knowing and being in limbo. Many of my other classmates are off getting ready to start their lives in graduate school or at their jobs...and I'm envious. I want that. And I want it now.

But I must be patient. That's something I continually tell myself. Patience. Things will fall into place soon.

As I wait - patiently of course - I feel like I need a hobby or something to help me occupy my time...when I'm not looking for a job. If you have any fun, creative ideas, let me know. I would love it.

Something that I know will help ease my restlessness and boredom is the Beijing Olympics!!!!! I am so very excited for them. Of course, my favorite sport to watch is swimming. Michael Phelps. Duh. I can't wait.

And speaking of Beijing, I am currently really, really, really interested in Asia. After visiting the Philippines - twice in a summer - I have wanted to explore more of Asia and Southeast Asia. I was given a glimpse of Hong Kong when my dad and I spent the night in a hotel near the airport. Oh it was such a tease! Now, that's all that I want to do...explore Asia. Tita said she'd take me to Hong Kong...maybe this summer. We shall see.

I've actually looked into teaching English in Asia...China mainly. I'm also looking into teaching English in the Philippines, that way, I'll be near my family. So many options.

Well. I'll take it one day at a time.
